Nostr Web Client

Yea probably. You know, before iPhones took over, or generally the smart phone concept, they penetrated to the working group - made it the ‘it’ thing for a classy exec to have. Globally it spread that way.

Then they started selling to local telco companies and distributors, and mainstream market went viral.

The education of smart phone usage is a long process, easier for many groups and harder for smaller groups. It took time.

But if you go back the flip phone era or the Motorola phones that looked like a brick, nobody would believe smart phone penetration would be possible.

I do think having specific use cases will attract users. For bluesky, their use case is Twitter replica ie most gov’ts and media (and a number of celebrities) use it as an official comms channel.

In our case we have many use cases - and it might help if we targets several target markets we want to penetrate that can help with mainstream adoptions

I say we skip straight to the iPhone. Why wait? :)

Well, would that leave us with a Twitter replica and that alone? I think we can do so much more - this platform is brilliant - but like smart phones, it’s not something Ppl are going to see. So have to attract the specific and various target market that would use it first.

Was reading abt Chrissy Tiegan joining bluesky - and imagining how it would be like for a busy celebrity mom who manages their own social media using Nostr.

The process flow from start

- login - the sign up process,

- the relay options,

- the profile updates (add interest here)

- searching for who to follow based on interest, topics and popularity

you're right, this process has to be simple and quick - and keeping this in mind, some things can be improved

- short reminders like that i sign (info) where they can click to learn more

- video tutorials

- tips and tricks to have better reach - ie hashtags, topic of interest etc

- assuming everything else is a no-brainer process.

Additional development client devs can implement

- add "topic of interest" for users - can use hashtags users have created and add along the way

- partner up with tool devs such as nostr.band to add trending stuff

we can time this and see how quick people sign up. And also attrition based on posts. And revisit this every couple of months to see what to add and delete and improve the onboarding process
